We had Gary Trent for three years and only made one tournament with a historic great MAC player.
Speaking of Gary Trent.
Not to take away anything from going to the NCAA Tourney,BUT winning the Preseason NIT at the Garden, with everything that went along with it,including the 110 on the Today Show was just special.
The best part of the 110 performance that night, was the impromptu pep rally on the southeast corner of The Garden after the championship game. People were dancing in the street. Great times that night.
John Groce's days in the Mid-American Conference are now officially over for good.
College Of Charleston hoops just got a massive upgrade and the Groce family is moving to one of the best cities in the country.
Now let's see if Jeff can beat a Groce-less Akron squad in his lame duck season.
Good for John Groce. I'm assuming it's for a bigger payday and he's earned it.
Often times these deals include some excellent sweeteners. A primo price sell his house, a primo price buying a house. A country club membership. A car. Lots of things a booster can provide. With no football team basketball must be top dog in Charleston.
It will be interesting to see who gets the Akron job and will they be as successful as Groce.
